Right on pace with Target’s distinctive retail brand, Target Finance and Accounting are transforming for the better. As so much more than a behind-the-scenes number-cruncher, you will be a truly collaborative partner with a seat at the table. You’ll bring your unique point of view, experience and passion for the work to your team and internal clients. Within Accounting, you’ll enjoy the interesting challenges of the competitive retail space, and you’ll have a 360-degree impact—rather than on just one part of the business. You’ll see your contributions come to life in virtually every area of this dynamic enterprise. And you’ll grow and be challenged in your career while having a healthy balance with life outside of work. Your role will be critical to ensuring the success of Target’s business initiatives and core retail operations.

You’ll provide accounting guidance and controllership support for new and evolving business initiatives, including payment platform evolution and innovation in gift card offerings. You’ll lead the team’s end-to-end accounting close processes, ensuring strong balance sheet reconciliations and effective execution of SOX and non-SOX controls. 

You’ll work with cross-functional partners to translate business operations and new initiatives into appropriate accounting and financial reporting outcomes. Some of these partners include Target Enterprise Services, Treasury, Tax, FP&A, Legal, Finance Capabilities and Target Technology. Using your influencing skills, you’ll advocate for Controllership in enterprise-wide initiatives and system modernizations impacting gift card accounting and sales settlement, ensuring new solutions support accurate and timely financial reporting, effective controls and operational excellence. You’ll also drive continuous improvement through automation, standardization, technology and analytics while providing leadership, coaching and development to build a collaborative, high-performing team and strengthen organizational capability.
